I Flee The City, Temples, And Each Place Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEDFGFGHI| I flee the city temples and each place | A |
| where you took pleasure in your own lament | B |
| where you used every forceful argument | C |
| to make me yield what I could not replace | A |
| Games masques tournaments bore me and I sigh | D |
| and I dream no beauty that is not of you | E |
| And so I try to kill my passion too | E |
| forcing another image to my eye | D |
| hoping to break away from tender thought | F |
| Deep in the woods I found a lonely trail | G |
| and after wandering in a maze I sought | F |
| to put you wholly out of mind I fail | G |
| Only outside my body can I live | H |
| or else in exile like a fugitive | I |
